Week.

Is the Review Of tho Past Business
Week.
New YORK, May Or. G.. Dun d Co., in
their weekly trade review, say: ''The most
important news of tho week, if confirmed, is
that the interstate commerce commission
will revoke all temporary suspensions of the
short haul clause, terminating them July l.
The revolution in business must therefore
progress until it's full effects have been
realized. Some of them are seen in the
contract taken by the Canadian Pacific to
move eastward the wool of California and
10000, 900 pounds Of sugar, and in the
marked revival Of shipments around the
Horn. Others appear in the decline of trsde
at the larger oenters of distribution and
manufacture, and the increase of distribu-
ton at the smaller towns, with an upspring-
ing of new manufacturing works ct many
localities. For twenty-five years the rail-
roads have been annihilating the barriers of
distance. The new law tende to restore the
old barriers and to put sections, cities and
towns further away from each other.
Clvsely connected are the numerous labor
narrowed fields for the distribution of pro-
ducts.
Local reports are still generally
encouraging, with no instance Of
an unusually long delay In collections.
Where business is deemed dull, it il in every
case pronounced larger than at the same
season last year.

A SUNDAY Night Seance.

A spiritualistic seance was held
on Sunday evening last, at the house
of a well known resident of town,
and. the manifestations given are
said to have been particularly lively.
One new convert to the belief of
spiritism, was more than eager to
talk to the departed, and became
so pointed in questioning the late
defunct that it is said the wrath
even blushed. it was highly
interesting seancc all through. The
spirits were in a particularly good
humor and numerous, so thick in
fact that an odor of sulphcr, or
some other celestial perfume, per-
valed the room at times. The few
making up the circle were all high
ly delighted with the success of the
medium but the meeting was alb
ruptly terminated by the spirit of
old John Taylor crowding in to
send word to George Warren to be
sure and and collect all the tithing
from the brethren here and not to
turn it in until further orders.

Sure Cure for Bucking.

On Monday last a peculiar but
laughable accident occurred ut the
Ten Brooke mine, on Boyle noun
tain. One of the mules of Manuel
Garcia's pack train had been load
ed with four sacks of ore, and the
animal apparently did not relish
the weight of its load, and mani
tested his displeasure by bucking
and prancing about in a lively man
ner. While in the enjoyment of
these eccentricities he stumbled in
to the Ten Brooke shaft, and down
went the mule and four sacks of
ore a distance of 80 feet. The mi
ners, with the assistance of men
from the Erving mine, managed to
get rope around the animals
body, cut the sacks loose, and by
main strength hauled the mule to
the surface badly bruised and famed
but strange to say, no bones
were broken. On regaining terra
frma, the mule quietly limped away
and looked as though it had all the
circus eiFectaally knocked out Of
his anatomy.

Rapid Increase of Travel.

Travel to Smoky continually in
creases. When the line started
three weeks ago-a two-horse. stage
was put on the route but had to
give way to a four-horse Concord
coach, and this week two fOur-horse
stages were put on to accommodate
the travel. On Monday, sixteen
passengers were way-billed through,
most of them coming from HALEY,
preferring the Ketchum route over
the fifty-five mile drive by way of
the Willow creek boys and tiresOme
SUBMITS. J. 0. Swift and other
Haley parties, largely interested in
Smoky, now make the trip by way
of Ketchum, proving the drive
from that town far better and many
miles shorter. The Ketchum and
Smoky stage line is becoming the
popular route, and it will only he a
question of time when all the
travel will come and go over it.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disord-
cred liver is misery. Indigestion is
a foe to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus
is one of the most complicated and
wonderful things in existence. 1t
is easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry,
late hours, irregular habits, and
many other things which ought not
to be, have made the American peo-
pie nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people SO healthy that
they can enjoy their meals and be
happy.
Remember No happiness with
out health. But Green's August
Flower brings health and happiness
to the dyspeptic. Ask your drug
gist for bottle. Seventy-five cents.

Elegant and Novel.

The midsumer number of "THE
WEST SHORE" is beautiful and at
tractive one. There is a charm OF
freshness and novely about this
magazine that is lacking in all 9TH
er publications. It's elegant engrav-
ings of Western scenes and pictur-
esque landscapes are not equaled
by anything else published, while
the mass of information it gives
monthly about Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho, Montana, British Column
bia and Alaska is extremely valua-
BILE. The midsummer number con-
tains large engravings of the city
of Astoria aud the mouth of the
Columbia river, the seaside resorts,
the salmon canneries, and others,
all of them accompanied by inter
csting descriptive articles. The
other contents are entertaining and
valuable. Published by l.. SAMUELs,

Cultivation of Flowers.

The cultivation of flower gardens,
owing to the constant care and at
tention required, is attended with
considerable difficulty in this To-
cality. To greater or less extent,
number of the ladies have succeed
ed in raising a few house plants,
shrinking from the more laborious
task of cultivating a garden on an
extensive scale. But that it can be
done, and many beautiful flowers
propagated to perfection, the prem
ises of r. f. ClOhecy bear witness
to. The space in front of his res
idence presents now very attract
i've appearance. and the nicely ar
ranged beds of pansies, petunias,
verbenas, pinks, mignonette and
other emblems of the floral world.
all in full bloom, amply repays the
weeks of attention devoted to their
cultivation. The view of the gar
den is a pleasant reminder of other
chimes where the brilliant-hued
flowers grow in profusion, but it is
only in such a place as. Ketchum
that their beauty can be fully ap-
preciated. Were it not for the scan
tiness of our water supply, Ketch-
UNI could boast of many handsome
gardens, beautiful lawns and shade
trees, but under existing circum-
stances. the one flower garden of
the town is like an oasis in bar
rem wilderness.

Ketchum Public School.

Coming here a stranger, less than a
year ago to assume charge of our
school, he has won the esteem and
respect of all who have met him,
and his qualifications to fill the
responsible position were clearly
demonstrated during the first term
of teaching here. He is also popu-
lar among the pupils of the school,
and under his watchful care the
scholars have made remarkable
progress in their studies. Miss
Van Wormmer, the lady chosen
az assistant, comes to us stranger,
and if the selection thus made re-
salts as satisfactorily as has that
of Professor Griswold, the Ketch-
um public school will be supplied
with two competent teachers to
train the minds of our growing
youth. The new school building
will be completed and ready for
occupancy by October LIST, when the
term will commence. The trus-
tees received many applications
for the two positions, not alone con-
fined to Idaho, but from many of
the eastern states and Oregon. They
are still coming in and until it be-
comes generally known that the
positions have been filed the trus-
tees expect to be in receipt of
many more requests from appli-
cants living Mt distance.

Literature BY the Keg.

A good story is told on one of
Ketchum's popular young men,
who with his many other good
traits of character has always been
active in Sunday school matters.
A lady friend, now in the east,
knowing of his interest in the Sun
day school, sent him a keg full of
tracts, books, and papers that are
deemed so essential to the advance
ment of the juvenile branch of the
church. The freight on the con-
signment of carefully selected liter
allure was $3.50 c. o. d., and not
dreaming of the contents of the
young barrel, the Sunday school
young man, vainly imagining that
he was the recipient of something
nice from a friend, chcerfully pung-
led over the amount. His amaze
ment, on opening the keg, to dis
cover its actual contents, cannot be
depicted-cold type couldn't do it.
The worst of it all is that since the
young lady's departure, the young
gentleman's interest in Sunday
schools has tagged somewhat, and
even the school itself does not often
muster a sufficient quorum to hold
a meeting. The next keg that
comes from New Jersey, addressed
to the young man Will in all prob
ability go to the unclaimed room
and find an owner at an" old horse

Death of an Old Prospector.

Billy Rhodes, one of the oldest
prospectors in Idaho, died in the
Bitter Root mountains last June.
He, with two others, had passed
the winter prospecting a quartz
mine. Their long absence alarmed
a number of friends, who started
out to ascertain if the party were
alive. Two of the men were found
in good health. but Rhodes had
died on June 18th. u. S. Marshal
Baird, was one of the rescuing par
ty, and brought the news of Rhodes
death to Mt. IdahO.-Teller.

The Water Supply,

The amount of work necessary
to supply the business houses and
residences of town with water dur
ing the present season, is hardly
realized. TO furnish the required
amount, two tanks, mounted on
wheels, are employed, and the ca
pacity of the two is $50 gallons.
1t requires, on an average. sixteen
trips by each driver to Trail creek
to meet the demand which amounts
to 10000 gallons. This water is
distributed to the patrons by buck
ct delivery, and each pailful weighs
thirtyfve pounds-thc driver gen.
orally delivering two at each trip
from the wagon to receptacle The
constant carrying of this weight. is
no light job when it has to be kept
up most of the day, and those dis
posed to grumble if the water man
is a little late, should have more
patience. Outside Of their regular
town patrons, a demand is made
for a large quantity of water to be
used at the buildings in course of
erection, and at the brick yard, all
Of which adds to the work and in
creases the labor to be performed.
The quantity of water now supplied
the amount actually
required to meet thewants. Were
water works in operation, and every
one having faucet-his own help
consumption would be in
creased tenfold outside Of the
amount used in irrigation.

to buy. At the present time, the
number of men employed in and
about the smelling works, is over
100. This includes the carpenters
brought from Butte, who have been
to work on the improvements. On
Monday last the first carload of
bullion was loaded, and during the
week the shipments made will be
about so tons, all of which is sent
to the Pennsylvania lead works at
Pittsburg, in that state. 1t was
gratifying sight to see the dense
volumes of black smoke looming
skyward from the tall chimney, on
Sunday last, dcnoting the resump-
ton of work at the smelters. The
season has been a backward one,
but now that ore is coming in with
more regularity and increased
quantity, it gives promise of being
more active, and a lively fall is an
ticipated.
